Our story.

The Mosman Park Junior Football Club, known as the Redbacks, is a community-based club that welcomes all players from Pre-Primary to Year 10s. We’re focused on making football fun and providing all the health and social benefits of playing together in a team with your friends. We pride ourselves in creating a safe and well-organised environment for players and their families.

In 1906, two years before Richmond joined the VFL and 20 years before Claremont Football Club played its first game, there was a football club in Mosman Park. The team had the less than inspiring name of The Cottesloe Second Rate Football Club, and games were played at Davis Oval, affectionately known as the “Prickle Patch” by the players.

During the World Wars, footy took a back seat but in 1946 the club was revived and was reborn as the Mosman Park Football Club. In 1980, the seniors moved to new headquarters at Tom Perrott Reserve, while the juniors kept playing at Mann and Davis Ovals.

In the last few years, the club has grown bigger than ever. In 2010, the juniors joined the seniors at Tom Perrott, to make room for younger kids at Mann and Davis playing Auskick, which continues to get more and more popular among the local girls and boys.

The Mosman Park Redbacks have two home grounds. Auskick happens every Sunday from 9am to 10.30am at Mann and Davis Ovals, just off Lochee St. The Juniors play at Tom Perrott Reserve on McCabe St. Teams from Year 3 to Year 10 play Sunday and train usually once a week from 4.30 to 5.30. The Home & Away season begins in late April, and training starts April.
